Tho Situation.
Thcro is no escapo from war botwoeu !
tim Dui teil State? and Spain unless iho|
latter ingloriously baokH down. Thia
not to bo expectod. TJ10 ruling dynasty j
in .Spain perceive that it is better to |
j'u;ht a foreign than an internal foe.
Tho ultimatum was cabled to Madrid I
yesterday afternoon by rresident Mo-1
Kinley, giving Spain forty-eight hours to
ovaeuato Cuba and withdraw bor land
and naval forces. Tho dornend has mot
iv Hat. refusal. Tho European powers
can do nothing furthov by way of media
tion. Tho ministers and consuls of tho I
respectivo governments huvo withdrawn
from tho territory cf tho contending par
tios. Thus everything ib in roadinoss for j
opon hostilities.
lt. is probablo that boforo tho ond of
ibis wook a groat naval engagement will
bo fought in Cohan waters. Acting on
tho udvlco of Consul Gonoral Loo, an
army wbl bo landed upon Cuba, and our
I government will use both land and naval
cs against thc Siianish troops.
Tho dio has now boon cast, and patrio
tic! Americans will respond as ono man I
to tho oall to arms. It is announced thnt|
there arc nov,-over ouo million npplioa
lions on lllo in tho War Dopartinont at
Washington for enlistment as volunteers
in tho army and navy. Two hundred
thousand, troops aro now ot tho Prosi
dent'e disposal. Tho destruction of tho
Maine and hor orow by Spanish troachory
will bo avongod. War is a terrible thing,
but iii tilla instance tho hardoi- tho con
flict at tho oulsot, tho soouor it will bo
, onded. \In our opinion it may last from
six months to a year, with a chanco that
it might bo seemor duded.
An Honor to Yirglnln. j
No man in America to-day receives,
and indued dc?ui VOM, moro of good will
and praiso of this free pcoplo than Fitz
Jiiigh J.co. On his roturn from Culm,
whore ho has spout two years as Cousul
Gonoral of this nation, bo landed at Key
"West, Florida, and proceeded thonco to
??< Washington. At every stop ho received
' a perfect ovation. At Richmond, Vir
ginia, JeirMiousand peoplo mot bim at
tlu hain to do him honor. Whoa ho
reached Washington tho air resounded
with hurrahs to tho old hero. His
praises arc on every tongue without dis
tinction of party. Why all thin? lie
porformod well his duty to his country.
Tito Burdons of Taxation.
lu every campaign in this Slate since
1870, tho cry of " Reform " in tho gov
orument of tho State has caught our ear
and wc have been lcd to boliovo thal the
moaning of " Reform," as used, was an
intended reduction of thc taxes exacted
from tho citizens ami a corresponding
reduction of government expenditure,
From 1870 to ISM) tho State levy varied
from li to BJ mills, with no reduction of
expenditure. Under these taxes thc
voters of tho St ato woro not satisfied,
and in 1890 they became restless. Thc
pcoplo arose in their might and presented
a solid phalanx in a determined offert to
chango their ruling class. Af tm- a hit
ter and hard-fought campaign success
crowned their efforts.
When tho result of that election was
announced tho mass of voters retired
from the Held of politics, satisfied in thc.
belief that victory incant relief to them
and tho State. Many expressed thc
opinion that no benefits would accrue
from thc chango, and for this expression
they were severely censured; so sure
wore tho victors that their friends held
the reins und would guido tho Ship of
St"te might, they would brook no criti
cism. Thoy consoled themselves for six
years in tho boin; that thc promised
benefits were only deferred and that
their friends would soon accomplish
hc.nc.'ici:'1 l'C'.ilt?- They conceded thai,
it took timo to solve tho problom.
After eight years' waiting it transpires
that the wlshed-for reform is a snare and
a delusion. Thoro has been no realiza
tion or tho good results looked for as a
roturn for their earnest clforts.
Since 1800, while thc assessed value of
the property of tho State has increased
some $111,000,11111), st ill t here is no decrease
in the levy, and weare blandly told it
must. yet. go higher.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.
Tho bladder was created for ono pur
pose, namely, a rccoptaolo for ibo m ino,
and as such it is not Hablo to any form
of diseaso oxcopt by one of two ways.
Tho first way is from imporfoct action of
tho kidneys. Tho scoond way is from
oaroloss local troatmoutof othor diseases.
Chief Cause.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys ls tho chief causo of hladdor trou
bles. So tho womb, Uko tho bladder,
was oroated for ono purpose, and If not
dootored too much is not Hablo to weak
ness or disease, oxcopt in raro casos. It
is situated back of and very oloso to tho
bladder, therefore any pain, disoaso or
Inconvenience manifested In thokldnoys,
back, hladdor or urinary passage Is often,
by mistake, attributed to fomalo weak
ness or womb tronido of some sort. Tho
error is easily mado and may bo as easily
avoided. To lind ont correctly, sot your
urine aside for twenty-four hours ; a sedi
ment or Bottling indicates kidney or blad
